in the current issue of "Gitarre & Bass" there is a factory tour-story with very nice pics and stories (5 pages)

Firmenbesuch Music Man / Story / GITARRE & BASS 10/2010

I´m not sure if it´s allowed posting it but I give you a resized preview

Cool thanks, I used to buy that magazine all the time for years but it disappeared completely from the dutch shops.

EDIT: BP, you guys cook an entire stable regularly at work :)? Would love to try your BBQ-magic someday :D

I would love to see more videos of the making of EBMMs similar to the JPX vid.

I can’t get enough of watching the process.

Thanks for the heads-up, can't wait to get my hands on a copy...had to resist the urge starting to read your teaser...:)

Great to see EBMM get some long overdue and well deserved exposure in G&B.

Yupp, cool thing to see EBMM getting a little more features in Germany and German press the last months...

I really dig that story, and MAN, Pops is said to sport at least the same skills @ BBQ as the whole EBMM in guitars.

Weehaw!

On we go...

Did they actually get a tour???
Those look like pics from the forum.

I can't imagine showing production numbers going over well!?! :cool:

OK folks, little thought:

BP opens Big Poppa smokers.....all of a sudden .....roasted maple necks appear.

Can you say crossover:)

Try the new meat strings....

They (several journalists from Germany) did get a great tour! Dudley and Scott Ball, very generously, spent the better part of 2 hours walking them through the various stages of production.

Later, Big Poppa cooked some tri tip and KILLLER chicken (man, that chicken was good)... the guys were totally blown away! :cool:

Just got to see that apart from "Gitarre&Bass" magazine, also the German "Guitar" magazine and the "Grand Guitars" magazine feature the EBMM factory tour plus a company portrait.

Pops is getting quite some press these days ;-)

Btw: When will those Smokers be available in Germany ?
...ongoing negotiations with the EBMM distrib Musik-Meyer ?! ;-)

@Mick:
Guess you'd stock up some... ;-)
